My seed was planted in fertile soil, the Holy Spirit has confirmed that with fruit that I demonstrate in life - you don't know me! You can test yourself though. Be honest. Do you possess any of this fruit: Love, joy, hope, faith, peace, patience, goodness, self control, gentleness? A good tree...

What if I find a church and it just happens be to a target church for terrorists that week, a bomb explodes just as I'm entering the church and I barely survive but am blind now? Who will marry and take care of a blind boy? What If I don't even make to the church, because the bus I took stalled...

We have a very fine scholary collection of English Bible versions. Teams of scholars, experts in Christian theology, history, Koene Greek, Hebrew, Hermeneutics, etc., worked on these translations for years to get what we have today. I use a half dozen versions myself. Sometimes I look at the...

! Well you communicate in a round about way, like a poet or trying to present the case as if you are Sherlock Holmes. You already concluded what this was all about in your first post: "In conclusion? God BLESS those parents in Louden County, Virginia." Far out man ... deep. Oh, and your...

Spare me the sophmorish lesson. Since variations of meanings are offered when exegeting and using the Greek, one can pick which ones work for them. If you don't like the literal meaning, okay lets shift to the figurative meaning. If a word has several meanings, lets pick the one that works...

I guess the Greek Interlineary study can't help you discern scripture. You are twisting the meaning. You are claiming that Israel's iniquities must reach their fullness, as if they are the Gentiles referred to? Huh? Romans 11 is referring to the time when fullness of the Church is complete...

The verse prior to 2 Pet. 3:4 is talking about the scoffers coming im the end times. There are scoffers across the board. Atheists are scoffers. Unbelievers abound everywhere, including Israel. But what relevance does this have with what God will ordain to happen, when He lifts the veil of...

Good, you just need to find good in others and not be so judgmental. No, the fact that you have changed from bad to better is a sign that He is working on you. We are all a work in progress. Also that you were an atheist and now a believer, concerned about what God thinks of You and worried...

Let's take look at various verses in Romans 11: " I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? Far from it! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew..." (vs. 1, 2) What then? What Israel is seeking...

First, let me clarify that the gift of faith I am speaking of is the belief in Jesus. The removal of this blindness is supernatural, something we cannot accomplish, but must be humble and willing to ask to receive it for sure. Jude, in that passage, is referring to the ungodly, the unfaithful...

Chretien, The world has evil in it, but there is also good. You can find good in people. To see the whole world around you as evil and that you are good is somewhat problematic. We are all sinners, nobody is perfect. I can understand about being an introvert, closed off to everyone, having...

This is not the heart of a Christian. We are to be salt and light in darkness. You are not offering light - don't believe you have any! Sorry, you are so negative about people but fail to look at yourself. Your words demonstrate hate and condemnation. With an attitude like this, "the whole...

What church do you go to?

There is only one faith and that is given by God to each individual. Some have weak faith and some strong, but let's not go off on a tangent. Keep it simple. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb. 11:1 That faith particularly is the belief that...

One other very important source of guidance that I should have mentioned in the beginning is your parents. That is your primary support system that God has given you. He will guide you through them. He speaks to you through them. The problem with teenagers is they don't listen to their parents...

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away". Matt.24:35

What you said right there is an admission of fault. That is a start. One must be able to see who they are, what they lack, in order to want to change. So you are not in denial. Do you realize that some people go through life in denial of who they really are, never admitting faults or sin and...

"And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?” So they said, “Nothing.” Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. For...

I just read your post, no one else's. IF they are saying the same things, shouldn't that tell you something. I mean you are asking for help. Someone who asks and several adults give them the same advice and they reject it; then all they really want is for people to agree with them. You are in...

THE Holy Spirit is the restrainer of evil. God's purpose in forming governments in nations is to protect people, their property and their rights. We have laws, police, courts with judges to enforce them. Our government was based on Biblical principles - the best forms of government are...
